SEOUL, South Korea — North Korean state media said Friday that the country’s leader, Kim Jong-un, had ordered his missile units to be ready to strike the United States and South Korea, which South Korean officials said could signal either preparations for missile tests or just more blustering.

The United States criticized the North Korean threat, which came one day after American forces had carried out an unusual practice bombing exercise with advanced aircraft across South Korea.

“The United States is fully capable of defending itself and our allies,” said Lt. Col. Catherine Wilkinson, a Pentagon spokeswoman in Washington."North Korea’s bellicose rhetoric and threats follow a pattern designed to raise tensions and intimidate others.” The back-and-forth was viewed with worry by China and Russia. China’s Foreign Ministry reiterated its calls for restraint. Russia was more explicit, with its foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, telling reporters in Moscow that he was increasingly concerned about a situation that could “get out of control — it will descend into the spiral of a vicious cycle.”

Mr. Kim’s order, which North Korea said was given during an emergency meeting early Friday, was similar to the one issued Tuesday when the North’s top military command told all its missile and artillery units to be on the “highest alert” and ready to strike the United States and South Korea in retaliation against their joint military exercises.

But by attributing such an order to its top leader, North Korea tried to add weight to its threat.

“We believe they are taking follow-up steps,” said Kim Min-seok, spokesman of the South Korean Defense Ministry, referring to increased activities of the North Korean military units. "South Korean and American intelligence authorities are closely watching whether North Korea is preparing its short, medium, and long-range missiles, including its Scud, Rodong and Musudan.”

Just curious....Does anyone know where our president is right now? Is he golfing? Is he campaigning for the defeat of the Second Amendment? Is he busy trying to shame the GOP into caving on gay marriage or illegal immigration?

North Korea has revealed its plans to strike targets in Hawaii and the continental United States in photos taken in Kim Jong-un's military command centre.The photos appeared in the state-run Rodong newspaper and were apparently taken at an "emergency meeting" early on Friday morning. They show Kim signing the order for North Korea's strategic rocket forces to be on standby to fire at US targets, the paper said, with large-scale maps and diagrams in the background.

The images show a chart marked "US mainland strike plan" and missile trajectories that the NK News web site estimates terminate in Hawaii, Washington DC, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas.

The text on the map, which shows the west coast of North America, says “Plan to hit the U.S. mainland”The meeting of the Pyongyang's senior military leaders was called after two US B2 bombers, flying out of bases in Missouri, carried out simulated bombing raids on North Korean targets on an island off the coast of South Korea.

Some of the N. Korean propaganda videos are disturbing, most are pretty funny though. Youtube is full of them. The N. Korean media is state controlled, what the people see and hear is put out by the government. Well those fortunate enough to have tvs or radios, most have neither. There is one propaganda video that claims that Americans are so destitute that we are eating birds we see in the parks, living in the parks and we are served hot water once a day from government trucks and that's our only form of nourishment. Their people only get info from the government so these videos is what they think our lives are like and we are all about.

Quoting DevonD83:

That was horrible, and at points downright laughable at how they think we are.. using those disturbing photos to try to make it out to be that we are the ones doing everything wrong and we are at fault..

North Korean Propaganda about the US. Here's how the North Korean government shows the US to it's citizens.

Warning: has some disturbing images and scenes. But it's an interesting view of how they see us and what they teach their people about us.

I have to admit when they werent showing photo's of dead and dying children and people, which is far from laughable to me I was laughing my butt off at some of the BS they try to fly as fact.. the babies and dead children and people, those made me want to throw up. No one wants to kill babies, at least not sane people

Then why argue if you don't support him? And no, not opinions. I know exactly what I'm talking about. They are facts. Our country being seriously broke is not an opinion. Obama pushing with all his strength to take away our second amendment is not an opinion, it's fact. But again, you're entitled to your own opinion, I'm done arguing with you. I do not have to like Obama. And I never will. Nobody will change my mind.

Quoting Anonymous:

I wasn't insulting you, just making observations.

I don't support Obama, I already said that.

Saying you're wrong, ignorant, and come off as mentally unstable.

And you have no facts. Just inaccurate opinions.

Quoting Anonymous:

Lmao was that supposed to be an insult? Is that really the best you've got? Pathetic really. I really dgaf what you believe. One of the great freedoms we have left (for now) is the right to our own opinions. So go ahead and support the idiot. Doesn't change my views and beliefs and the REAL facts.

Quoting Anonymous:

I'm a socialist an I didn't vote for Obama.

Statistically an factually speaking you're way off on your claims.

You are supremely ignorant. And a little crazy, you should probably be medicated.

Quoting Anonymous:

Have you noticed the fast decline this country has taken since he took office? Probably not. You fuckin Obama supporters are too blind to notice that he's a communist. That's ok tho because one of these days you will need your gun, but you won't have it because your oh so perfect president said no no. Talk about ignorance.

Quoting Anonymous:

What? He's poison what the duck are you talking bout you sound dumb. Or is he poison because he trying to help the low class

Quoting Anonymous:

First of all, that didn't even make any sense. Second, I never said anything about him being black, that has nothing to do with him stripping our rights and multiplying our debt. Take your racist bullshit somewhere else. For all you know I'm black myself. Doesn't change the fact that he's poison to the American way of life.

Quoting Anonymous:

You is that most stupid person on here. why would be destroy the US OH OH YEA HE'S BLACK SO HE MUST BE STUPID BITCH

Quoting Anonymous:

Obama himself is trying to destroy this country, why wouldn't he let someone else do the work for him?
